Shadow Paints foaling/kidding Thread.Twitch COLT pics pg 477!!

I think she was unwrapping her tail. Poor Abby still seems a bit dazed. I haven't really seen her interact with the foal, at all, except for the one time, when she shied away. Hope she's ok.

isnt that what she did tie the after birth up or off from hanging down....it did not look like she had anything in her hands when she left the mares rear
 
she was tying it up off the floor. I have seen other people do this with their horses after they foal so they don't step on it or cause bacteria to travel up and into her I suppose.
 
that might have been a shot of oxytocin to get the afterbirth out faster, but really I don't know. I have also known people to give horses and even dogs shots of B12 right after birth just to replenish and give strength.
 
Okay, Abby's nuzzling the foal, now. I feel better. Harley's back up, too.

I have GOT to go to bed!!!

When you tie it up do you just knot it or fold & knot or what? Sorry im an amature at horse birthin & I need to know cuz I have a mare due in June.
